On the way there
This is really awesome Land Cruiser geek. I've got 2 old ones in my 40 I'm going to dig out and compare ##.
Thanks Treeroot.

Thanks for the pics and info. Will include these in the jack reference.
That small screw on the RK30 is interesting, and the same small screw on Annie's RK30 jack as well. The 35011 Variant A, which is like the RK30 except for part number, has a larger screw in that location.
There's a posted photo of Annie's jack handle that is also marked STO with the 2, so it certainly looks like that handle came with the RK30 jack. Wonder what the 2 means, seems large for a forge mark. Perhaps a mfg plant designation.
There is also a version of the short jack handle that is unmarked. See these with the medium canvas/vinyl tool rolls, which would suggest they date between 3/69 and 3/72. Guessing the sequence of marks is STO 2, STO, and unmarked. If so, the STO only mark may be between 63-69.
It would be great to have the smaller decal to fit the narrow neck flange jacks. I have a couple of hilux jacks with that label, but the labels are in poor condition. All the information needed for the smaller decal is already on the larger one. It would take some manipulation of the larger image to remove the jack diagram and reposition the text correctly. Perhaps a simple task for a Photoshop guru.
I like the design of those jacks with the 4 screw base. If the jacks are dated 8F (June 1968) and 9K (November 1969) they may have been for model years 69 and 70 vehicles. For the FJ40 jacks that's the same time frame as the change from variant B (flat head screws) to variant C (cross-head screws) so maybe they are the original screws.
'root is definitely a force, or is that freak, of nature and, yes, he really is that young. His dad has a really sweet 40 that gets wheeled hard, so it runs in the family. The best part of his knowledge is that he shares it so freely, a not uncommon trait in the Cruiser community.
I just now clicked "like" on a few posts in this thread ... but ALL of what you guys have researched on jacks is amazing.
However something here just isn't right...
You hide your age wscBill so I know it's bound to be heading towards triple digits.
But TreerootCO lists an age of just 37.
I just don't think that's possible with the symptoms being exhibited here!

I got out the microfiche reader and scanned in the older images I have of jacks. This info could also be good for the tool reference Bill has.

Jacks! Ran out of room... going to need a new shelf. Type A 63/64 and TEQ slotted 31020 missing from the panorama.
And I'm asking myself, why isn't there at least one paint-chip or grease-smudge around that shelf?
(A video of you carefully placing them all up there would have been intriguing ... but then I wonder how many would have had the patience to watch it all the way through. )

Jack Reference - Version 2
The updated Jack Reference is posted on Dropbox and available for download.
Version 2 includes many new photos and additional information about early (1958-84) Land Cruiser jacks. Jack service dates for some 09110-35011 jack variants and other jacks have been revised to reflect new information learned from review of manufacture dates stamped on the jacks.
Special thanks to treerootCO for his outstanding help and support for this project, and willingness to share research information and photographs. As a result, version 2 of the Jack Reference represents a significant improvement over the initial version.
This continues to be a work in progress, please respond with comments, corrections, and suggestions for improvements. Especially interested in your photos of Toyota cast iron jacks that are not included or identified in the updated reference. Please post comments/photos or send a PM.

Awesome work on the Jack Reference Bill. I found a 1963-64
So the threaded and straight parts of the shafts are not supposed to be painted it appears (from all the OE painted ones you have in your collection), but on the gold one you ended up painting it treeroot?
When re-painting a jack for service, what is the best approach? I tried painting a portion of mine and it gummed up. If not painting it, what is the best way to protect the metal? Grease? If the metal is pitted, what is the recourse?

The pics I posted are just bomb can over grease at this point with the exception of the gold one. That was isn't painted but cad plated
I was being silly and it turned out pretty cool. Once I can find the correct color paint, I will restore a few of the ones I have. I'll ping you when I make a run and we can put yours in with mine.

Painting the threaded extension and the lift column doesn't seem to work. I have one "restored" by someone who painted both the extension and column and neither one moves freely like it should. The jack is totally non-functional, useful only for display. And not much good for that, if someone wants to see how it should work.
I bought a 77 FJ40 new, and the jack that came with that vehicle did not have the extension or column painted. On most of the jacks I've seen, these are not painted. And those that have painted extensions or columns, it does not appear to be the original paint.
To protect the column and extension, I go over both with an oily cloth now and then, leaving a very light coating to protect the metal. There was a restored jack on e-Bay recently that had a black lift column, perhaps black oxide coating. Something like that, or plating, would add corrosion resistance.

The jack is listed in the parts catalog as 09110-55020, 10ton, 3/69-12/2001. Shown with the metal tool box kit and a later, smaller tool bag kit.
